I thought that it was well thought over by the author, Nancy Farmer, introduced Matt the way she did. He is the main character, and so far, he tries to be as friendly to other people as possible, although he is a clone and he knows it himself later on.
Celia is the caregiver towards Matt, but she is also not his mother, as Matt is just a clone of El Patron. She loves him very much, and deeply worries about him, and Matt does the same for her. However, she really does not appreciates when Matt calls her his mama, as this statement is not true, and he knows it himself.
Maria is a little girl who is the same age as the cloned Matt. Although everyone else strongly dislikes him, it is revealed that she is among the only ones that admires the “eejit” as all call him. Eejit is the slang word for people that are clones. People think that this is not ethical, and that she should stay away from her. Her attempts to befriend him only gets Maria into more trouble by the rest of her family.
So far, in the first section, there is a person that sgows deep hatred for him later on, but not in the beginning, which was Rosa. Rosa did not orignally know that Matt was a clone, so she was rushing to help Matt as he was hurt. However, as soon as she found out that Matt was a clone, then she immediately stopped caring for him, who the deserted and imprisoned him.
There are other people that Matt has met that are the minor characters, but this character influences the whole story, El Patron. He is the original Matt Alacran, and Matt later finds out El Patron is very old, and that he is actually a clone of him. Matt has yet to meet his original one yet, but he soon will find out what his purpose is for being given life, and he may not have a bright future ahead of him.
